6:06 am
a conflict. same. fenton monahan reports on a normal school day july web, a would be greeting his students. instead, the principal of marianna boys school walked through empty classrooms and take stock of the damage caused by the quake. children can't return until it's deemed safe, but it's not clear how long that will take next. i mean has that, that the i was that we are afraid of aftershocks that may in turn lead to more damage in the future. i urge the concerned parties to help us to continue the educational process here for the sake of the children, the school and the teachers and the students all need help students stuck at home or making the best of a bad situation. my stuff and cassim do what studying they can, but mostly they're helping out at their father's shop. their school isn't rebel controlled. it live. so it's not the 1st time their education has been disrupted long with her. i think when we were very scared because of the earthquake,
6:07 am
we ran out of the house and we haven't gone to school since the date happened. oscar was previously shown by government forces. then the earthquake caused many cracks in it. it wasn't long ago that their school looked like this. the building needed extensive renovation after being hit by a government farm. the damage of the quake is yet another set back to their schooling for level the desert. mom, the earthquake goes many correction was of the school. so we stopped going to school for fear of after shocks. everyone here fears for our lives and the lives of the students. for now, all schools are suspended in opposition, controlled parts of syria. students don't know when they'll be back in the classroom again. some could reopen as early as next week, but others that are badly damaged could remain closed for a lot longer than to madeline al jazeera while across the border in turkey.
6:08 am
schools that survived the earthquake have turned into shelters for survivors. as a bag reports from one of the hardest had areas of cut, a man made us on how students are coping the disaster amid the destruction in this city, this school is remarkably still standing. now, there's no lessons going on here. that's because the government has suspended education until the 1st of march. now across the 10 provinces, there's around 4000000 students and 200000 teachers, a primary and secondary level. now the government says education will resume after the 1st of march, but that depends on the districts and school by school basis, because some of the buildings are damaged and the have to be inspected before students can be returned. now this building now is being used for emerging emergency relief efforts to help those that are left behind on there is no one left to go to school. a lot of people have died only a few people are left to those anesha to at least the schools are being used for a good purpose. now, education has been suspended and it will badly affect us. but i am sure the state
6:09 am
will do what's necessary for our education. they hadn't got food, water, blankets and clothes, but not only to the people that are left behind, but also the rescue workers, the relief workers, and the police who have been working tirelessly throughout this crisis now asked, rescue efforts begin to wind down. the government will be looking at how they can get vital humanitarian aid to those people left behind. and because the destruction is so vast and because so many buildings have been damaged, they're using schools like this one that are still standing. no education is taking place inside, but they're using it as a human italian hub. and that's what the government will be doing in terms of looking at buildings are still standing that they can use to get vital to monitor and 8 to those people that are left behind that don't have homes, are completely dependent upon the state and age organizations to get by i said vague. i'll just either carmen rush, southern dorothea,
6:10 am
will attack us. government is now facing the challenge of providing shelter for the countless people have been left homeless. and a smith has more from a relief camp in a donna, in southern take year, or a thousands and thousands of temporary shelters that have been set up like this are behind me. the idea of these is they, they will be temporary, this place should be closed by monday because what's happening is a lot of the evacuated people, 3 and 4000 people evacuated. a lot of them are being moved into university dormitories to give them at least a solid roof over their had. as the rebuilding process goes on, there are more than $1000.00 there. 1589 unaccompanied children survivors. most of them are with relatives, but 589 of them are not. and 74000 buildings that didn't fall in the quake must be pulled down, demolished as soon as possible because they're not safe. the government, keen as a say to emphasize the scale of this,
6:11 am
but also frustration from people that many of these buildings were talking about should not have gone up. in the 1st place. a government granted before the 2018 election here more than a 140000 building amnesty is in this part of turkey for all sorts of structures from sheds to large. apartment blocks buildings that didn't come up to scratch in terms of the building stand as they needed to be at post an earthquake in $99.00 to $999.00 to $9.00. what happened instead was though people had to pay a fine the earned the ministry of environment more than $4000000000.00 in 2018 for the paid a fine. and they didn't have to build, bring the building up to scratch. thousands and thousands of people here furious about that or rescue operations without winding down and turkey. but they haven't ended a 45 year old man was pulled from the rubble in the southern province of hattie 11 days after that 1st house last lake. been trapped in
6:12 am
a collapsed building for 278 hours. and one man who was rescued early on friday of the mess, his newborn daughter for the 1st time. amelia was born on the day of the earthquake . she met her father, most of her at a hospital in the turkish city of medicine. and despite the widespread devastation, all cities has suffered the same fate as natasha. good name reports from s m not a single person died in irs in not a single building collapsed. yet there are plenty of people in this city of 43000 people who say they are angry and scared. there are damage buildings. the government has advised people not to go back to their homes until an inspector has deemed them structurally sound. so we've spoken to people who say they're living intense cars and outside. they complain the fact that ers in has not been as devastated as other areas has left it overlooked when it comes to receiving aid as
6:13 am
another shonda. but since the mess it is seen is not damaged, so many survivors came here. they're staying in their cars, they also new tents. they suffer as much as we do. they may survive in terms of food, but they have no place to stay. there are a couple of factors explaining why ers in was not severely damaged. it's next to a fault line expert, say that fault line did not shift. there is a mountain next to ers, then that is creating a barrier. and the city is at a higher see level, which means the ground is harder. buildings are constructed on bedrock and for years the city has strictly enforced building codes and the use of proper construction materials given how well ers in has fared. people from heavily impacted areas and had tie province have now come here seeking refuge. natasha name

forces in the country, comma hider has more from islam about that day operation. as all the security forces have completed that operation, they have taken over control of the building which was occupied by the gunmen for several hours a day of ga storm. that building at 7 o'clock low, good time and poetry and how far the security for the building, the police defended military forces drum unit of the budget on the military. what was now they are saying they're all of those have been neutralized one of them, of god donating the explosive device and do that on the roof golf. but also came by just to give you an idea of what had been going on for the last one month. the high book to police inspector general said that they
6:19 am
would kick to attack in one month alone, in which $300.00 policemen have been killed in the book to the province alone, including the 100. what carol did they explosion that happened yet later it over a week ago, i got mark so did showed again that the police were not prepared for that there dag, despite the fact that they've been a high security alert across the country the day to get all the bond buckets on the broad and wild that they will continue with their dag. but for now we can confirm that the situation is under control. and that security for, to have taken over the control of that war at the office of the police chief of the city and the corporation is now all of us are, daddy is the founder of focused on a policy think, tak tub lab. he says the police force is being failed by the political and military
6:20 am
elite in the country. the fact that this has happened again, so soon after the shout attack is clearly a signal from the terrorist group that it is able to strike very, very important buildings in the 2 cities between which most of the countries sandwiched and which often are the gateways to pakistan either from the north of the south. so the symbolic value of the attack is enormous. and the biggest symbol in all of this is the relative helplessness of the state in protecting the protectors of the people of pakistan. and that being the police services, and certainly the policeman and the soldiers of bugs are the least deserving of any kind of speculation that somehow their work is lacking in any way. i think they're being failed by military and political elite that is distracted and dis united. they're dealing with
6:21 am
a global geopolitical scenario in which of honest on and buckets on don't matter as much anymore. and the mass that the americans have left behind and honest on one that focused on had repeatedly warned the americans and the rest of the world about for 2 decades. now that mouse has actually come home to bucharest on itself, 5 former police officers in the u. s. city of memphis had pleaded not guilty of being charged with the murder of terry nichols. he died shortly after being beaten by the cope steering a traffic stop. chaper thompson has story. this was the 1st day in court with a 5 fuller offices and their lawyers. and the 1st time since tyrene nichols death. but his family was able to come face to face with the men seed on camera, beating him for several minutes following a traffic stop. the defendant's lawyers entered their please to the charges against the plea of not guilty. those charges include 2nd degree murder, which carries a sentence of 15 to 60 years. the court was adjourned until may,
6:22 am
the 1st calling the arraignment. defense lawyers indicated this strategy to the assembled media. one suggested he would be expressing the fear that his black clerk may not receive a fair trial due to what he suggested was the systemic racism of the us legal system. it's not forget that my client is a black man in a court room in america. this is a country where black people are incarcerated at 5 times, the rate of white people, a country where black people are $7.00 times more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder than white people, never done. net and other defense lawyers suggested that police officers had to face great danger in their profession and questioned the charge of 2nd degree murder. anybody knows to call death, there's no definitive information regarding the call to death at all. and so we got 5 individuals charged with murder. i repeat why and it's an honor. because at this point in time, i've never seen people jump to conclusions outside the court. tyree nichols family
6:23 am
spoke of a determination to see the process through and be present every day of the trial. and i want each and every one else police officers to be able to let me in the face. they, they haven't done that yet. they couldn't even do that today. they didn't even have the courage to look at me in my face at there. what they did to my son. so they're gonna see me at every court day, nearby wine end ah, until we get just to school my side. where i live 20 more hours of video recordings of the incidents have yet to be released publicly. that still many unanswered questions not least why nichols was pulled over in the 1st place. several other officers and 1st responders who were present during the beating had been fired on investigations runs away and were the more charges will be filed. she albert hamster, al jazeera candidates prime ministers. the keys in china meddling with the countries
